Motorola today announced a 5GHz fixed wireless system called Canopy for residential and small business customers. Motorola’s system uses the unlicensed 5GHz band (at 5.25 & 5.8 GHz) and includes a 6-sector cell, an integrated one-piece customer unit, and a 10Mbps backhaul system that can be used to connect additional “cells” or [...]
Ethernet in the First Mile brings Ethernet to the home with 10Mbps-100Mbps fed directly to settops or computers. It may use twisted pair, Cat-5 Ethernet cable or fiber. Narad’s “Virtual Fiber Architecture” offers two options for switched IP services. The first uses the bandwidth from 860 MHz to 1 GHz to [...]
HP/Compaq today launched a worldwide initiative to provide Public Wireless LAN “hot spots” in public areas such as airports, hotels, restaurants and other locales.

Rob Flickenger, an Alpha Geek in anyone’s book, used a tool out of science fiction at a recent Emerging Technology Conference. Flickenger used his laptop to watch a real-time display of the graphics and photos the wireless bloggers were actually interested it. Using EtherPEG, a free combination packet sniffer [...]
Perhaps balloons launched from Hawaii daily, could provide store and forward or relay capability at 5.8GHz. Consider the 200 watt EIRP of 5.8 GHz. A 500 mW Demarc Access Point controlled by a PocketPC or 9 ounce OQO could use an inexpensive passive phased array antenna like etenna or Paratek, with 23dB gain on both [...]
The Library of Congress unveiled its redesigned Web site this month. Pages will feature new layouts and more efficient navigational paths. At the forefront of the new Web site is the Get It Online section, which includes links to the Library’s digital collections. These pages include the award-winning American Memory; THOMAS (legislative information); [...]
The 1,400 public hot spot locations are expected to grow to about 42,000 by 2006. Wi-Fi aggregators provide a degree of 802.11b roaming. Their one-price fees can be used at different locations. Starbucks, for example, lets you pay once and use their service in multiple locations. Boingo Wireless uses Portal Software’s [...]
The Wireless Internet Service Providers show begins Monday in Boston. The fifteenth annual fixed wireless convention is sponsored by the Wireless Communications Association International (WCAI) and will feature 186 speakers, including 74 executives from broadband wireless carriers.

But FSO is still expensive and requires true line of sight. Optical mesh gets around buildings but the light can be killed by fog. Some companies are teaming FSO with 60 GHz radio (which is sensitive to rain, not fog). The FCC has allocated some unlicensed spectrum at 60 GHz for high-speed applications. By combining [...]
1XEV-DO competes with W-CDMA which takes even more spectrum - 5 Mhz. It’s being tested where spectrum is currently available - mostly in the MMDS band. AT&T Wireless is installing a W-CDMA PCS system in Dallas. In recent lab demonstrations in Redmond, Wash., they were able to transfer multimedia files at data speeds exceeding [...]
